How to play music on a website, blog or MySpace with HTML music codes.

Posted by cherished in Scripts on November 30th, 2008

From http://www.hypergurl.com/

There are several ways to place music, midi’s, mp3 and wav files on a webpage. First you need to know the name of the music file you wish to use. If you don’t yet have any music files, you can find free music and sounds to download including christian music, 80’s music, pop, rock and many others on our music sounds page.

Because embeding doesn’t require javascript, all music codes also work on MySpace and blogs.

Music on choice.

The first html music code gives your visitor the choice if they want to hear the music or not.

<a href=”yourmidname.mid”>Click here to play music </a>

Make sure you upload the music file to your server. Your visitor will need something to play the music on such as Real Player or Windows Media Player for the music to play.

Website Music plays automatically on page load. This is cross browser compatible.

Place this code in the <head> of your html document so music starts automatically when the page loads. Your visitor has no choice to hear it or not and there is no option to turn it off. Using the “embed” command makes your music compatible with Netscape.

To embed music on your website with a shut off button.

You can embed music into your page so it starts automatically when someone views your page and have a small image where your visitor can turn it off.

Place the html music code where you want the button to appear on your page.

Embed music with console.

Instead of the button, you can have a small console with on and off switches on your page such as this one below.


Music Parameters.

To make the music play automatically the parameter is Autostart=”TRUE”
You can put “FALSE” instead of “TRUE” so the person visiting your page will have to click on the play button for it to start.

Facebook Fan Page

Posted by cherished in Social Media on November 16th, 2008

Fan pages are all the rage at Facebook.

A musical artist, business, or brand can create Facebook Pages to share information, interact with their fans, and create a highly engaging presence plugged into Facebook’s social graph. These Pages are distinct presences, separate from users’ profiles, and optimized for these presences’ needs to communicate, distribute information/content, engage their fans, and capture new audiences virally through their fans’ recommendations to their friends. Facebook Pages are designed to be a media rich, valuable presence solution for any artist, business, or brand that can be integrated seamlessly into the user experience with socially-relevant applications.

7 Reasons to Invest in Yourself – Today!

Posted by cherished in Education on November 5th, 2008

Written By: Nancy Michaels

1.  You are all you have! I know this to be the case first hand.  There’s nothing like a separation, grueling divorce and – here’s the kicker – a near death experience to clue you in that without you and your ability to be at your best – physically, mentally, emotionally and intellectually, you have less.
2.  You are worth it. You are.  No money spent on education or travel is wasted – ever.  These things are wise investments in yourself and provide you with a depth and breadth of new experiences, knowledge, information – all that you have available to share with others.  These are things that no one can ever take away from you and leave lasting memories and impressions for you to draw upon throughout your life and your business.
3.  The increased knowledge you receive will help your business and those businesses and individuals you serve. You become much more fascinating to your prospects and clients the more you invest in yourself and you set an amazing example of how to conduct yourself and your business.  It’s never too late to learn something new and share this with those you care about and can have an influence on.
4.  By investing in yourself, you’re showing your prospects and clients your increased value and that you walk your talk – authentically. How can we ask others to invest in themselves by using our services if we are not doing the same?  Be authentic in your quest to gain insight, share what you learn and encourage others to do the same.  My financial planner advised me that the best investment you can ever make is in yourself.  It’s the only sure thing in the market.
5.  Things will turn around as they always do and you’ll have made major inroads through the process of picking up your game. I disagree with those nay Sayers that say it’s just not a great time to launch or grow your business – au contraire!  There is never a better time than when things are uncertain.  People are more open to joint ventures, partnerships and some off the wall thinking than ever before.  Take advantage of the economical climate and forge ahead in creating and enhancing relationships and partnerships with others.  When things turn upward – if not before then –  you and your business will be front and center on their minds.
6.  You attract others into your lives that support your desire to better themselves, their situations and most importantly the people (clients) they impact and influence. Associate with people who support and encourage you to reach your goals and dreams.  Negative opinions will drag you down, so avoid spending lots of time with folks who continue to focus on the glass being half empty instead of half-full.  Sadly, there are some in this world who experience feelings of jealousy and envy when others do well and have high aspirations.  Avoid these folks – wish them well and limit your time with them to protect yourself and your most valuable assets – your positive attitude and approach toward the world.
7.  Show your gratitude toward clients, prospects, colleagues and friends. There is nothing more powerful than being grateful for the business you do have and creating ways to generate more opportunities for yourself and others.  For everything you are grateful, write it down each day and refer to it often.  In the depths of my illness, there were some days I remember being so grateful that nothing was being expected of me except to achieve good health.  I express gratitude every hour of every day now for having regained my health, my strength, my children, my business and my prospects and clients.   Thank you.
